Project Amongst Generations – United for Work is about to end in Cagliari, too. During the course of the year, the 15 year-three students from IIS A. Pacinotti, coordinated by Prof. Carla Equinozio, and 8 over-65 craftsmen shared knowledge, experiences and competences.
Today’s programme includes an exploratory visit to the digital manufacturing lab managed by Faberaus, while tomorrow the appointment is at the engineering firm of Salvatore Pica, a member of CNA Pensionati.
In this interview with Eleonora Curatola, filmed at the beginning of the digital literacy course, Salvatore Pica explains why he joined the project and the need to acquire new competences.
